Local Talk

With a population of about 70,000, Muncie is best known as the home of Ball State University and the birthplace of the Ball Corporation. Muncie is a little over 60 miles from Indianapolis, so Muncie residents can easily enjoy what the big city has to offer while simultaneously living in a smaller, more manageable city. Although Muncie does experience some crime near the city center, the surrounding areas boast extremely low crime rates and excellent public schools. Muncie is home to several museums, including the Academy of Model Aeronautics, as well as the Cardinal Greenway, part of Indiana's longest rail trail.

Based on safety and quality of education, Muncie is not a very family-friendly town. At 49 crimes per 1,000 residents, Muncie's crime rate is quite a bit higher than average. The city doesn't fare much better as far as education is concerned. Muncie students are primarily served by the Muncie Community School District, which was rated better than 4.1 percent of school districts in Indiana and 19.4 percent of school districts in the country.
